Whey+
What this means
Elite efficiency — 40%+ of calories from protein. Lean meat, whey isolate, low-fat dairy. 73.3% density puts this in the Platinum tier.
Complete protein, high leucine, DIAAS > 1 — the muscle-protein reference.
Note: At 2.31g leucine per single scoop, this product sits below the 2.5g threshold needed to maximally trigger muscle protein synthesis in one serving. Common workarounds: use 1.5 scoops, or combine with another protein source in the same meal (e.g., Greek yogurt, eggs). More on the leucine threshold.
vs Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard (whey reference)
| Metric | Whey+ | Gold Standard (reference) | Δ |

| Protein / serving | 22g | 24g | -2g |
| Leucine | 2.31g | 2.5g | -0.19g |

| MPS trigger at 1 scoop? | No | Yes |
Notes
Grass-fed (Irish dairy) whey isolate, naturally sweetened with stevia. Legion does not print a full aminogram on the bag or site (provided per-100g only on email request), so leucine is estimated from the whey factor (~10.5%); a customer-supplied profile reports ~2.6g, within band.
